*dies of the pure joy*

Guess who has the Definitive Collector's Edition of Queer as Folk (UK)? It arrived today. I wasn't expecting it until Monday! The estimated delivery date was the 22nd!

So, my dvd player on my computer is going to temporarily be region 2 until I get that regionless dvd player that I have my eye on (it'll let you change it four times before it's permanent).

I've only read the liner so far and I'm already in heaven -- Russell T. Davies explains that the reason he wrote QaF was because he wrote an episode of a soap and thought his writing was being strangled because, in soaps, people always say what they're thinking. So, in QaF, he wanted people to talk the way that people really talked -- and people mostly don't say what they think.

Excerpt:
The whole series is based on two men who love each other, but never say so. The standard drama scenes don't appear: Vince never stands crying in the rain declaring his love for Stuart. And how did Bernie end up living with Hazel? Why did Romey choose Stuart? Do Stuart and Vince end up together? I don't know; it's up to you.

I'm so very sorry, Joss, but I now love RTD more than I love you.
